+{{Infobox Movie
 '''''The Lives of a Bengal Lancer''''' is a 1935 (loose) adaptation of Francis Yeats-Brown's memoir of the same name. The film was directed by [[Henry Hathaway]] and stars [[Gary Cooper]], Franchot Tone, Richard Cromwell and Guy Standing. Although a thoroughly British story, Cooper, Tone and Cromwell were all Americans, and Tone was the only who even tried to pull off a British accent, with Cooper playing a "Scotch-Canadian" (''Scots'' today will point out that "Scotch" refers to a beverage) and Cromwell playing a half-American who grew up in the United States. The film was shot entirely in Southern California and was a critical and commercial hit. The popularity of the film kicked off a wave of imperial adventure films, including ''[[The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936)|The Charge of the Light Brigade]]'', ''[[Gunga Din]]'', ''[[The Four Feathers (1939)|The Four Feathers]]'' and ''[[The Real Glory]]'', which all involved white men, usually British, maintaining order against rebellious brown natives. The idea of a few white men controlling 300 million Indians made the film a favorite of Adolf Hitler, who made it required watching for the SS. The film also gave the world the now clichéd (and misquoted) threat of "we have ways of making you talk," a threat made by Douglass Dumbrille as villain Mohammed Khan. His actual quote was "We have ways of making ''men'' talk."
